    Alternative High-Beam Connection ?

    Alternative High-Beam Connection ?

    Yeah ... sorry but if one uses the contact less CAN reader it says: The Contact-less Reader option allows the CAN Bus interface to read vehicle CAN Bus data without any actual metal to metal connection between the interface and the vehicle CAN Bus. The reader is secured around a section of...

    Alternative High-Beam Connection ?

    Absolutely agree and fully underline that. Thank you for the warning. - however if the Can bus is read by a inductive sensor (like they have) on the CAN wire - so there is no physical connection - i assume the possible risk should be almost not existent ? Many thanks for your valued opinion.

    Not sure if this could work also: but this is also a new Solid State Relay with multiple 35 A outputs : https://www.streetmusclemag.com/news/clean-up-crew-msd-high-current-solid-state-4-channel-relay/

    Alternative High-Beam Connection ?

    If this would work with the F150 Raptor - this would be it. Unfortunatly F150 is not listed .. Was wondering if any of the Listed compatible Ford models would use the same CAN Data structure? https://www.canm8.com/can-bus-interfaces/lighting-control-interfaces.html

    anyone tried this CAN Bus Highbeam Interface

    Was wondering if anyone tried to use these CAN Interfaces from CAnM8 ? The F150 Raptor is not listed - only newer Ranger Models The CANM8 Highbeam reads the CAN data and is an actual Relay (switching depending on the CAN Hig Beam Data) to power one or more Lights. Even a Inductive reader to...

    Hi all, had exactly the same issue -- also Twice -- under recall. These bolts are special "stretch bolts" and can not be used twice or be replaced by "ordinary bolts. Had no issue anymore when they ordered the bolts and pump from Ford. These Bolts have some sort of "elasticity" Possibly the...

    Winches?! Who has one? What do you think?

    @TrewRaptor Did not see any Nose drop or changed suspension behaviour - I also fully agree with Yukon Joe - its worth every cent. And indeed the Swarfworks mount has the provision for a Baja Rocklight - Proof of very solid thoughts that went into the design. - very cool stuff.

    GEN 2 Night Vision Camera installed

    Finally had some time to prep a very short video, took the dashcam video and put the thermal video next to it as comparison. The brighter white = warmer can see that good in the parking garage you can see which cars just parked due to hot engine area.
